School Board Meets Tonight

Allentown School Board at 7 tonight will consider approving a resolution to file tax appeals on properties that are purchased for a higher price than what they are assessed.

"We would ask for a reassessment upward," said Superintendent Diane Scott.

If approved, the tactic could bring additional revenue into the 15,600-student district.

Also at the meeting, board members will consider a contract for the purchase of natural gas, an agreement to have a company audit the district's utility expenses and a response to a state auditor's report.
